Скачать или смотреть Our 2026 Marketing Strategy (Why We're Delaying Our Biggest Release)

2026 is a year of intentional pacing for the author I work for, and for marketing our indie fantasy franchise and its audiobook collection.

In this video, I break down our marketing and release strategy for the year — from conventions and audiobooks to why we’re deliberately slowing down our biggest release.

Going into 2026, we’re prioritizing restraint over rush. Instead of sprinting toward our biggest, flashiest release, we’re focusing on foundations: building trust with readers, strengthening the backlist, refining our live-event presence, and expanding audiobooks the right way.

In this episode, I walk through the entire Heroes of Time and Penny Pangolin ecosystem, our convention strategy (including Lexington Comic Con), audiobook plans, and why our flagship novel — Heroes of Time: The First Ethereal — is being intentionally held back until the timing is right.

If you’re an indie author, publisher, or creator trying to balance ambition with sustainability, this video is for you.
